This Friday: Binational Families on WAMU's "Metro Connection"

Posted on 11/10/2010 @ 08:00 AM

This Friday, National Public Radio affiliate WAMU will look at the struggles and obstacles LGBT binational families face in their quest to remain together. WAMU's Metro Connection speaks with Immigration Equality and Washington, D.C. couple Erwin de Leon and John Beddingfield. Though Erwin and John - who is an Episcopalian minister - are legally married in the District, they face possible separation once Erwin's student visa expires.

Metro Connection reporter Rebecca Sheir reports on the lives of LGBT binational families, and the work to end the discrimination they face under current immigration law, at 1pm ET on Friday (with an encore broadcast on Saturday morning at 7am ET).
